Allegro.pas 4.4.0 Alfa released

[Ñuño Martínez]

I'm late because I did upload the new package on Monday, but there you have a newer version of the Allegro wrapper for Pascal.

It has a new unit distribution, more compact, and introduces the "algui" unit that allows you to create from simple to complex graphic interfaces (not related with Lazarus), as well as some bug fixes and more documentation.

Please, download the latest version (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=184664&package_id=214777&release_id=681964) and tell me what do you think.

Now I get stuck with the OpenGL support because it seems that create the OpenGL context on X Window and link the window with the Allegro core (for keyboard input, mouse, etc.) is complex and I have no enough experience. Windows one is simpler but I haven't a Windows system and I can't compile Allegro on ReactOS or WineHQ. :S

Anyway, I'm adding a software-based 3D renderer and working on the tools and I'll try to have a beta as soon as possible.

Two new version released, one for people who is using the old one because the newer isn't compatible with Delphi.

The one compatible with Delphi is 4.2.3 beta (it's beta because I didn't test it yet ::)) and it a bugfixing and a small improvement. Not very important but may be it helps until version 5.0 will be released (Allegro.pas 5.0.0 should be compatible with Delphi again thanks to the new API).

The other version is 4.4.0 alpha2. It is more complete, with more examples, more documentation, and introduces the software based 3D renderer.
